Ingredients

Hi Pat-

I should be able to find it in AZ, but I don't remember ever seeing or hearing of it in the produce market, plant nurseries, or anywhere around else here. Of course, now that you brought it to my attention, I'll see it everywhere once I post this.

How is it used? Do we cook it, use it raw in place of lettuce or is it just used as an herb for seasoning?

I'm trying to learn to cook Mexican at home instead only going to Mexican restaurants. :)

Thanks! :)

Hey Darla,
Yes! You should be able to find it in international or Latino stores. Plus, epazote is very, very easy to grow. It is used as a seasoning herb, for all kinds of stews, either vegetable or meat, and especially good with beans from the pot or refried beans. Also great to add a single epazote leave in a quesadilla. Epazote has a strong, yet clean and peculiar flavor, so only very little is required.
I will be adding more recipes that can use epazote so you can try it out!

Pati,
Thank you for your show and the recipes. Your cooking reminds me
of my grandmother's dishes growing up. I have been hoping for a
quick mole recipe and found it in the amarillito mole con pollo.
I intend to try this during the holidays. Gracias, Antonio

I hope you enjoy the amarillito mole Tony! Let me know what you think :)
